this one actually seems pretty weird too.
I have no problem believing that the cameras simply didn't notice him. Seriously, those guys only have so many cameras and are just roving around from location to location trying to spot suspicious stuff...and also can get into daydream-mode I imagine.

But the fact that the guy ONLY took 10 chips seems weird.
There weren't more 10k chips to take?
He didn't grab a handful of 1k chips and stuff them into his pocket?

To go so far as to try a smash-and-grab hoping that nobody is looking and then only scoop up 10 chips strikes me as odd.

Standard investigating technique is to mention a similar (usually fabricated) crime and see how the alleged victim reacts. Also could be setting up expectations - "Hey we have bigger fish to fry..."
